Teamster/Wagoner DANIEL WEBSTER JOHNSON, Co. D, 86th Illinois
Daniel Webster Johnson was born on April 2, 1841 in Troy, Orleans County, Vermont, the son of Robert Johnson and Bloomy (Bailey) Johnson. According to the information we see in the 1850 census, Robert Johnson must have been born about c. 1809/10 in Vermont. However, he may actually have been born c. January 13, 1802 in Townshend, Windham County, Vermont. Bloomy Bailey was born c. May 6, 1812 in ___________, Vermont, the daughter of Samuel Bailey, who was born c. May 31, 1784 in Peacham, Caledonia, Vermont and who died on October 15, 1855, and Lydia (Pearsons) Bailey.
Nine children are known to have been born to Robert and Bloomy. They include;
1. Sylvia Ann Johnson, born c. 1835/36 in Vermont
2. Mary E. Johnson, born c. 1837/38 in Vermont
3. William H. Johnson, born c. 1838/39 in Vermont. Some members of the family believe he is the William H. Johnson, who was born on Mar. 7, 1840 and died on September 14, 1867, who served in the Civil War as a Cpl. in Co. G of the 108 Ill. Infantry and whose mortal remains were laid in the Harkness Grove Cemetery in Peoria County, Illinois. But, on checking the Illinois State Archives on the William Johnson, who served in Co. G of the 108th Illinois. It is found he was 34 years old when he enlisted in 1862, making his year of birth c. 1827/28 and he was born in Ohio. So the dates on his site are not correct and he's born in the wrong state. I don't feel this is him.
I believe that William could be the William Johnston was was married to Nettie C. ___________ on __________ __, 18__ in __________ County, Illinois. At the time of the 1880 census, William and his family are believed to be the William H. Johnson family found in Indian Grove, Livingston County, Illinois. His parents are both listed as having been born in Vermont;
William H Johnson Self M 43 Vermont
Nettie C Johnson Wife F 36 Massachusetts
Effie M Johnson Daughter F 13 Massachusetts
Marion Abnet Other M 28 Indiana
John Bourchan Other M 20 New York
However, nothing more is known about him at this time.
4. Daniel Webster Johnson, born April 2, 1841 in Vermont. See his biography below.
5. Nancy E. Johnson, born c. 1842/43 in Vermont
6. Levi C. Johnson, born March 5, 1846 in Vermont. Levi C. Johnson served in Co F of the 47th Illinois from Peoria County during the Civil War and was married on January 25, 1883 in Osceola, Clarke County, Iowa to Mary Fancher. Levi is listed as being 35 years of age and his parents as Robert Johnson and Mary Bloonin. Mary is listed as being 30 years of age, was born in New York and her parents as Charles Fancher and Maria Pulman. Levi C. Johnson died on Aug. 9, 1926 and his mortal remains were laid in the Maple Hill Cemetery in Osceola, Clarke County, Iowa. See his Find A Grave Memorial # 14557864.
7. Robert Morris Johnson, born December 24, 1848/49 in Vermont. Robert Morris Johnson was married to Alice I. Davis (1854 - 1940) on January 12, 1874 in Fulton County, Illinois. Alice was born c. April 5, 1854 in or near Farmington, Fulton County, Illinois, the daughter of Charles Davis and Anna M. (Patton) Davis. Robert farmed for a living his whole life. Robert Morris Johnson and Alice I. (Davis) Johnson were the parents of three children;
A. Stella Oletha Johnson, born October __, 1874 in Illinois.
B. Frank Clifford Johnson, born c. June 14, 1879/80 in Fulton County, Illinois.
C. Minnie Johnson, born June __, 1884 in Illinois.
Robert died on May 13, 1932 in Farmington, Fulton County, Illinois. His death record found on familysearch.com lists him as a retired farmer and his mother as Bloomy Bailey. His mortal remains were laid in the Oakridge Cemetery in Farmington, Fulton County, Illinois on May 16, 1932. See his Find A Grave Memorial # 123124720.
8. Isadore Johnson, born c. 1851/52 in Vermont
9. Sarah Johnson, born c. 1854/55 in Illinois
At the time of the 1850 census the Johnson family is found in Troy, Orleans County, Vermont;
Robert Johnson 40 M VT
Plumma Johnson 37 F VT
Sylvia Ann Johnson 14 F VT
Mary E. Johnson 12 F VT
William N. Johnson 11 M VT
Daniel W. Johnson 9 M VT
Nancy E. Johnson 7 F VT
Eli M. Johnson 4 M VT
Robert M. Johnson 1 M VT
The Johnson family came west to Illinois sometime between 1852 and 1855, where they settled in Peoria County. Their last child, Sarah, was born to them there. It appears that Robert died sometime between 1854 and 1860, probably in Illinois again, as their last child was born to them in Illinois. Robert Johnson is not listed in the 1860 census with the family. However, it is possible that some family business or crisis took Robert Johnson, back to Hampshire, forcing him to leave his family.
Some family records have Robert Johnson dying on May 5, 1861 in West Chesterfield, New Hampshire. There is in fact a Robert Johnson buried in the West Burying Ground in West Chesterfield, Cheshire County, New Hampshire. His Find A Grave Memorial # 46831188. He is listed as having been born on January 13, 1802 in Pomfret, Windsor County, Vermont and to have died on May 5, 1861, Chesterfield, Cheshire County, New Hampshire. His parents are listed as John Johnson (1778 - 1843) and Alice Elsa Jacobs Johnson (1781 - 1870). I have yet to find Robert Johnson in the 1860 or 1850 census records of Cheshire County, but, there is a Robert Johnson in Cheshire County at the time of the 1840 census. This of course, may or may not be the same Robert Johnson, though. I still find it difficult to believe that this is our Robert Johnson though. At this time, I still tend to believe that Robert Johnson died here in Illinois, but, perhaps we will never know for certain.
What we do know is that Bloomy/Blooma (Bailey) Johnson is alone here in Peoria County, Illinois in 1860, with at least some, if not all of her children and remains here in Peoria County, the rest of her life. In 1860, four of her children are living under her roof and several are scattered among nearby families working as farm hands and servants for the income on other farms. At the time of the 1860 census of Peoria County, Daniel W. Johnson is believed to be the Webster Johnson found in the Sylvester Orton household in Trivoli Township, while Nancy E. Johnson, Daniel's sister, is believed to be the Nancy Johnson found in the Ayariah Orton household in Trivoli Township, while their widowed mother and the rest of the siblings are also found in Trivoli Township, though incorrectly listed as being from New Hampshire;

At the time of the 1870 census, Bloomy Johnson is found in Trivoli Townships in Peoria County, living with several of her children;
152 152 Jonson Bloomey 58 F farmer Vermont
152 152 Jonson Daniel W. 28 M farmer Vermont
152 152 Jonson Morris R. 21 M farmer Vermont
152 152 Jonson Sarah M. 16 F at home Illinois
At the time of the 1880 census, Bloomy (Bailey) Johnson is found widowed and apparently living alone in Farmington, Fulton County, Illinois. She is listed as Keeping House and as having been born in Vermont. Her father is listed in this census as having been born in Canada.
Bloomy (Bailey) Johnson died on August 12, 1896. Her obituary appeared in the September 3, 1896 edition of the The Elmwood Gazette and listed Morris Johnson as her husband. Was Robert Johnson's full name, Robert Morris Johnson? One of the children was of course, Robert Morris Johnson. Bloomy's mortal remains are believed to have been laid to rest in the Yates City Cemetery in Yates City, Knox County, Illinois. See her Find A Grave Memorial # 126544812.
Now to continue with the biography of Daniel Webster Johnson;
On August 15, 1862, Daniel Webster Johnson volunteered to serve as the Teamster for a company which was being raised in Trivoli, Illinois by James S. Bean for service in the Union Army. Daniel listed Trivoli as his place of residence at the time he volunteered.

On the afternoon of August 15th, Bean led about 90 Trivoli volunteers into Peoria, where they went into camp at Camp Lyon, near present day Glen Oak Park. On August 27, 1862, 83 of those Trivoli volunteers, including now Wagoner Daniel Webster Johnson, were mustered in as Company D of the 86th Regiment of Illinois Volunteer Infantry. James S. Bean, who was elected by the men of Co. D to be their Captain, was elected and promoted to Major of the entire regiment, so the men of Co. D then elected Frank Hitchcock to be their Captain.
On September 7, 1862, the men of the 85th & 86th Illinois marched out the gates of Camp Lyon, through the streets of Peoria, with much fanfare, and boarded a train bound for Camp Joe Holt, Jeffersonville, Indiana. Four weeks later, the men of the 85th & 86th were in the field in Kentucky as part of Col. Daniel McCook's Brigade, chasing Confederate troops in Kentucky. On Oct. 8, 1862, the men of McCook's Brigade were engaged with those troops in the Battle of Perryville, Kentucky, the 86th Illinois suffering their first casualties. There would be many more in the years to come.
After the Battle of Perryville, Kentucky, the Confederates withdrew from Kentucky and the men of McCook's Brigade marched on to Nashville, Tennessee, where the 86th would go into winter camp. In the history of the 86th, Kinnear in his book writes, "On the morning after the battle our brigade moved forward to the main portion of the battlefield, the enemy having retreated under cover of night, leaving his dead and wounded on the field. The brigade remained in its last position three days, when on the morning of the 12th the army took up the line of pursuit, passing through Danville and Lancaster, and arriving at Crab Orchard on the 16th. The pursuit was now no longer continued, the enemy being allowed to make good his escape with all his forage and plunder. Nashville now became Gen. Bragg's objective point, making it a race to see which army could reach it first. Accordingly, on the 20th of October the line of march was taken up for Nashville, the 36th brigade passing back through Lancaster and Danville, thence following the main road leading to Bowling Green. It remained a few days near Mammoth Cave, in order to recruit its strength, being sorely fatigued. Many of the Eighty-sixth took this opportunity to see that great natural wonder. On the 31st of the month we arrived in Bowling Green, where the brigade remained a few days to recruit and draw clothing, preparatory to its further march. Leaving this place, it followed the main road to Nashville, where it arrived on the 7th of November."
The men of the 86th would remain in the Nashville area through the winter, spring and summer of 1863. That first winter in the field was tough on the green troops in Nashville. The living conditions and diet were not conducive to good health. The hospitals in the Nashville area were full to overflowing and the National Cemetery in Nashville, is the final resting place for many men who didn't survive that first winter in Nashville.
Like many of the troops, Daniel W. Johnson having difficulty with his health during this time. On December 19, 1862, Daniel W. Johnson was sent to the Stone Hospital in Nashville with a very high fever, believed to be typhoid along with chronic diarrehea. After some time in the hospital, the doctors were able to get his fever to break and got he straightened out to the point that he was able to rejoin his unit.
During the next two years, Wagoner Daniel W. Johnson served faithfully in Co. D as the men of the 86th served in Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina and North Carolina. During this time, Daniel was witness to and a participant in numerous battles and skirmishes, some of the bloodiest fighting in the Western Theatre of the war, including the Battles of Chickamauga, Georgia; Resaca, Georgia; Rome, Georgia, Kennesaw Mountain, Georgia; Peach Tree Creek, Georgia; Jonesboro, Georgia; Averasboro, North Carolina; and Bentonville, North Carolina, to name a few, and marched with Sherman to the Sea.
After the war came to a close, the men of McCook's Briagde marched on to Washington, D.C. where on the 24th day of May, 1865, they marched down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. on the 2nd day of the Grand Review. The surviving members of the 86th were finally mustered out of the service on June 6, 1865 in Washington and soon they were on a train bound for Chicago where they received their final pay and were discharged. By the end of June of 1865, the surviving members of the 86th were back with the families in Central Illinois.
At the time of the 1870 census, Daniel W. Johnson is found in Trivoli Townships in Peoria County, living with several siblings and his widowed mother;
152 152 Jonson Bloomey 58 F farmer Vermont
152 152 Jonson Daniel W. 28 M farmer Vermont
152 152 Jonson Morris R. 21 M farmer Vermont
152 152 Jonson Sarah M. 16 F at home Illinois
On October 28, 1875, Daniel W. Johnson was married to Louisa Pinegar in Ottumwa, Iowa. However, they apparently made their home in Fulton County, Illinois, where their first two children are believed to have been born. Louisa J. Pinegar was born c. October 15, 1845 in Vermillion County, Indiana, the daughter of Peter J. Pinegar and his 2nd wife, Charlotte Ann/Anna (Anderson or Knox) Bowman Pinegar, who also had been married previously to a Bowman. At the time of the 1850 census, the Pinegar family is found in Highland, Vermillion County, Indiana;
Peter Pinegar M 61 North Carolina
Ann Pinegar F 45 Kentucky
Angeline Pinegar F 10 Indiana
John A Pinegar M 9 Indiana
Peter J Pinegar M 6 Indiana
Louisa Pinegar F 5 Indiana
Martha Pinegar F 4 Indiana
Benj F Bowman M 20 Kentucky
From this we see that Peter Pinegar was born c. 1788/89 in North Carolina, while Charlotte Ann/Anna (Anderson or Knox) Bowman was born c. 1804/05 in Kentucky. According to a site on familysearch, Peter Pinegar/Pinnegar was born on May 1, 1788 in Danbury, Stokes County, North Carolina, the son of Mathias Pinegar, who was born c. 1762 and who died on March 5, 1830, and Margaret (Rendleman) Pinegar, who was born c. 1773 and who died c. 1837. Peter's first wife was Katherine Flinchum, born c. 1788 in Virginia and died c. 1835 in Parke/Vermillion County, Indiana. Charlotte Ann/Anna Anderson or Knox was born on February 12, 1806 in Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky.
The Peter Pinegar family moved west to Iowa in the 1850's settling in or near Chillicothe, Wapello County, Iowa, where Peter died on October 24, 1859. Peter Pinegar's mortal remains were laid in the Chillicothe Cemetery in Chillicothe, Wapello County, Iowa. See his Find A Grave Memorial# 23505763.

In 1887, a few of the surviving members of the 86th Illinois organized and held a reunion in Peoria, Illinois on August 27, 1887, the 25th anniversary of the mustering in of the men of the 86th. It was attended by about 130 surviving members of the regiment. It is not known whether Daniel Webster John even found out about this reunion, but he did not attend. However, it was decided to continue these reunions, which were held on or as close to that August 27th anniversary date as was possible each year for the next 30 years.
Wagoner Daniel Webster Johnson attended the 3rd reunion of 1889. At that reunion, Daniel was able to spend time with the 11 other surviving members of old Co. D and about 150 members of the regiment. Years passed before Daniel attended another reunion. In 1906, Daniel attended the annual reunions which was attended by 8 other members of old Co. D.
